Thus it’s logical to pay special attention to strikers of both sides – Dieumerci Mbokani and Yevhen Selezniov.
Dieumerci MBOKANI: the White-Blues “dangerous weapon”
Dynamo newcomer has already five goals to his name within the UPL this season.
Dieumerci Mbokani is Oleh Blokhin’s main attacking “weapon”.
After the great start Congolese striker couldn’t score for three matches, but then he netted one goal against FC Metalurh Zaporizhya and against FC Aktobe.
Due to his anthropometric data Dieumerci is good in scrimmage. As Kyivans faced FC Aktobe at the NSC Olimpiyskyi he headed the ball in from 12 m distance.
Dynamo newcomer has already demonstrated his great speed and technical skills.
In the forthcoming game against FC Dnipro he will have to overcome the opposition of Dnipropetrovsk side defenders, who didn’t let Shakhtar Donetsk Brazilians create a lot of goal-scoring opportunities last week.
Yevhen Selezniov: Dnipropetrovsk “battering ram”
Ex-Shakhtar Donetsk player Yevhen Selezniov managed to demonstrate his best qualities in Dnipropetrovsk.
28-year-old Selezniov became the best finisher of the UPL in 2010/11 season (17 goals). In general he’s got more than 100 goals to his name in his career.
Yevhen is not a fast forward, but it doesn’t prevent him from scoring a lot as he is a kind of “battering ram”. He has a great goal-scoring flair. Selezniov is also good at head-playing.
This season Selezniov usually plays not as a typical finisher, but as a second striker.
2013/14 season statistics
This season Dieumerci Mbokani has made seven appearances within the UPL (5 goals, 1 assist) and 1 appearance within the Europa League (1 goal).
Yevhen Selezniov has already scored 6 goals within 7 UPL games this season. Besides he’s got one goal and two assists within the Europa League.
Dieumerci Mbokani:
”My aim is to become the top striker of Ukraine”.
Yevhen Selezniov:
“There are no invincible teams”.
